I started playing the guitar quite regularly again a few weeks ago. I already had two guitars, a classical one and an electric one, however I always found myself taking my dad's acoustic guitar. So yesterday, I went to Musique A-440 in Valleyfield and I got myself a new guitar, a Blueridge BR-40, a damn fine guitar. From the picture, it looks pretty plain, however it's a very, very nice guitar and far more importantly, it sounds so great. According to the salesman, my old guitar teacher, this guitar ranked #1 in a review of 11 acoustic guitars in a high-profile magazine on guitars. Three reviewers out of four prefered it to guitars that cost three times as much. The guitar cost me $550 CAD, taxes included. When I got home, my dad took his guitar, and we compared the sounds of both instruments: now, my dad's guitar is like 30 years old, but it sounds quite well, however it had a very normal, plain sound in comparison to mine. Played so much last night that my fingers still hurt :)
So, if you wanna sing some songs, just come over to my place, we'll have to fun, drink some beers and pretend we can actually sing :)
